| |
This message may be seen by some to be OT, but it concerns replying to messages from this specific mailing list, so I'm asking it here.
My ISP's smtp is in ORBS and they don't seem to give a shit, and mails to this list get 50 bouncebacks because of it. So, I set up my local MTA to send directly from home, instead of via the ISP's SMTP. I figured despite the slowness, it would solve the problem. Now I'm getting back all sorts of bounces from machines blocking using something at "www.mail-abuse.org/dul" which appears at a glance to be some list of all ISP's dialup modems or something - meaning using my dialup machine with my own MTA is going to be just as bad or worse.. SIGH.
Short of switching ISP's, is there some recommended way to get mail out to the list without getting blocked by drop dead spam filters? Please feel free to throw me at another list that is more appropriate, or flame away, or whatever.. I'd just like to get this stupid MTA problem over with so I don't get 50 bounces due to ORBS blockers, etc..
For the record, even though it is killing me right now, I agree with the usage of ORBS and similar services for privacy and spam blocking. Feel free to flame me for that too. ;o)
Again, sorry if you feel this is OT, but I don't have this problem on other lists, and someone here likely has a good answer.
